Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (inflammatory pseudotumor) is an idiopathic lesion, rare in the head and neck, of unknown aetiology. It is primarily a soft tissue, lung and orbital condition. In the world literature, only two cases with tonsillar disease have been found.

We report a case of a 10-year-old girl admitted to our hospital with clinical complaints of pain in the neck region, cough with vomiting, dyspnoea and dyslexia. Clinical examination revealed halitosis and a neoformation dependent on the left tonsil. Bilateral tonsillectomy was performed.

Resumen

El tumor miofibroblástico inflamatorio (seudotumor inflamatorio) es una lesión idiopática, poco frecuente en cabeza y cuello, de etiología desconocida, que se presenta más comúnmente en tejidos blandos, pulmón y órbita. En la literatura mundial solo se tiene conocimiento previo de 2 casos con afección amigdalar.

Informamos del caso de una niña de 10 años, que ingresó en nuestro hospital con cuadro clínico de dolor en la región cervical, tos con vómito, disnea y dislexia, la exploración física mostró halitosis y una neoformación dependiente de la amígdala izquierda, se le realizó amigdalectomía bilateral.
